Ingham - Easter Labyrinth
This is a special labyrinth, designed to help us think about Christ's suffering as he journeyed towards the cross, and to reflect on the events of Easter. It will help us think and pray about our own lives too, and about people who are suffering in the world today.
If you have never visited a labyrinth before, don't worry. Unlike a maze, there are no dead ends and you cannot get lost. This labyrinth is based on a design used in St. Paul's Cathedral, London in 2000. The pathway leads you to the middle of the room and a different way back out again so you do not need to retrace your steps. On the way there are various "stations", designed to help you to pray, think and meet God. Just follow the instructions when you get to a station. They are all numbered. Don't do anything that you feel uncomfortable with, and feel free to miss out any stations that you don't want to do. Take the walk at your own pace - fast or slow. Overtake other people if you want to. Just be aware, though, that they might be deep in prayer so try not to disturb them. Before you start, you might want to read a Bible passage telling you about the journey to the cross. A short account is found in Mark 15.
